The Browns Charged with Throwing Games.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
ST. Louis, Sept 25-Op!nion is freely ex-
pressed and becoming very general in ST. Louis
baseball circles, that the Browns do not wantto
win from the Cincinnatis, to do so would
jeopardize Cincinnati's hold on second place in
the Association race Every game the Browns
would win from the Cincinnatis would be half q
game in favor of the Lousvilles. who are press
ing Cincinnati closely for second place. The
criticisms the playing of the Browns in the
last four games with the Cincinnats are severe.
Many believe that three of the games could have
been won by the Browns. counting that of to-
day. The feeling here is that the Browns, hav
ing won the Association championship, prefer to
see the Cincinnats come second than to let that
position go to the Louisviles There is also
strong helsef in well-informed base ball circles
that there is q plan for the Browns and the
Cinciunatis GO into the League at the last
minute. after they have quietly secured certain
concessions from that bsdy.

The Observance of Sunday,

| a consideration, does not meet with much
success in Georgia In giving
entertainments on Sunday. he
was advertised to appear at the
Academy Of Music in Macon on Sunday
| night, March 9. The Mayor had given
his consent, and everybody was looking
forward to novel entertainment.
At the last moment, however, the Method
tst pastors. Rev. j. o. A. Cook and Rev.
w. c. Lovett, the Baptist pastor, Rev. E.
". Warren, and the Episcopal pastor,
Rev. j. r. Winchester, petitioned
the Mayor to prevent the entertainment.
They alleged that 1t would be violation
OF the one day set apart for religious and
rest purposes, and that a majority of the
community wished the entertainment
to be postponed. The Mayor determined
TO grant the petition, and, in consequence.
the minds oil the people of Macon were
not read until Monday night.
The same mind reader was advertised
to give an entertainment in this city last
night, but the Chief of Police called at.

which prohibited it, and the mind read
ing business went over for one day.
The cases bring up the oft discussed
question of the observance of Sunday.
The experience OF the world is
that Sunday should be observed as a dav
of rest, not only from work, but from
amusements which take the nature OF
public exhibitions. 1t ia true that such
exhibitions are not inconsistent with res t,
but they are weighted with so MANY OBJ
jectiOnabie features as to make them in
expedient. They tend to destroy respect
for Sunday, and to wipe out the distinc
ton between 1t and Other DAYS.
The experience Of France shows such
result TO De injurious in more respects
than one. In accordance with the teach.
ings of the Christian religion, Sunday is
not only set apart as day OF rest, but
also for religious worship, Thus the day
IL OF tue greatest value as an aid in the
work OF purifying and strengthening
society.
Excepting New Orleans no Southern
city allows secular entertainments TO be
given on Sunday. A few Northern and
Western cities allow them, but it is noto-
rious that they have deteriorated in NOR.
ais. 1t is to be hoped that Southern
cities will continue TO adhere TO the GUS
toms of the fathers, at least as far as a
strict observance of sunday is concerned,

Opening the Fight on Mr.. Randall.

Opening the Fight on MIR. Randall.
a statement has found its way into
print that a Democratic Congressman
said day or two ago, that before he
voted for Mr.. Carlisle for Speaker he
wanted 70 know what disposition Mr..
Carlisle proposes to make Of Mr.. Randall.
A good many other Democratic Congress
men probably would like to know whether
Dir. Carlisle, il elected Speaker. will
again give Mr. Randall the craftsmanship
Of the Appropriations Committee. There
is feeling among Democratic Congress-
men that Mr.. Randall IS largely response
BILE for the failure of the general de-
ticiency bill in the last Congress, and for
the backward condition in which all the
appropriation bills We're. They have also
pretty we'll settled belief that no bill re-
ducing the tariff can be passed as long as
Mr.. Randall has the craftsmanship OF 30
great committee as that on appropria-
tidns.
1t may be that such strong feeling
against Mr.. Randall will be developed
among the Democratic Congressman be-
Jore the Fiftieth Congress assemblies thai
Mr.. Carlisle will find it advisable TO agree
TO give to Mr.. Randall a minor position.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Randall is a
very able man, but he is not In harmony
with his parry on the tariff question.
While there is no disposition to require
him TO take a back seat. to hu-
initiate him. there is desire to deprive
him OF the power of preventing such tariff
lnfsi1 LOT In fou
Gratis.
Doubtless Mr.. Randall himself does not
find his position altogether a pleasant
one. A Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says that he Is drifting
over into the Republican party, which
does not want him, and that he cannot
maintain his present attitude in the
Democratic party without appearing to
the country to he ridiculous failure.
This is putting the case rather strongly.
1t is but just to Mr.. Randall to cay that
while he may appear to be failure, there
is not much probability OF his appearing
to be ridiculous. He Is man of too
strong character for anything of that
sort.
There is talk in the Pennsylvania Leg
islature OF so apportioning his district
that 1t Will no longer be Democratic.
There is not much danger, however, that
he Republicans of Pennsylvania will do
anything to injure him. He has done the
Republican party too much service TO be
harshiy treated by 1t. The Republicans
OF Pennsylvania want HIM in Congress.
and they want him there as Democrat,
because in that character he can do
hem the most good. It. ia true that the
manufacturers of steel rails are condemn
ing him at present for moving in the last
Congress to reduce the duty on such rails,
out their hostility will not last long.
1t is probable that Mr.. Randall will not
be Chairman OF the Appropriations Com
mittee in the FiftIeth Congress, and it is
also probable that an understanding that
be will not will be reached before. the
Democratic caucus dominates officers for
the House.
